Sinced they’re goign to the UN next month to try and get a unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state, why are they starting up these terrorists attacks a month before? Far better to wait, adopt their usual “innocent victim” persona...they already have most of the world agreeing with them...so why this, and NOW?
Maybe this isn’t a terrorist attack at all.
They were wearing Egyptian Army uniforms and attacking without the interference of the Egyptian Army. How about this being a case of the Nation of Egypt declaring war on Israel and then attacking it? What else do you call it? An accident?
This reminds me of the Mumbai attacks where Pakistan blatantly attacks India and then…well…nothing happens. I think Pearl Harbor just happened and nobody noticed.
The Israelis took back their land in 1967 when attacked from all sides by the Arabs. Israel needs secure borders. It has to build fences on the Sinai side and fences on the Jordanian side, fences on the Lebanon side. Israel must protect its people from the murderers and terrorists who know no bounds of decency.
Egypt cannot feed its people. It cannot borrow enough money to import food, and has no source of earnings. It has allowed various Islamist groups to scare off the remaining tourists, and realistically will have nothing but starvation for the next ten years or so. It has huge masses of ill educated young men who want a better life and have no prospect in what amounts to a failed state and a failed people.
So expect open War sooner or later with Israel. No one in the ME fears Israel, all think that the nation can be destroyed, not just beaten. Israel lost fairly big against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and that woke up its enemies. Obama and Dems would welcome Israel’s destruction, most of the Democratic Party is entirely hostile to Israel (Blacks, Hispanics, Leftists, Activists, and so on). Egypt will gamble it can win, fairly decisively, by mass attacks against what they view as a weak, divided, and without a protector (America) Israel.
Israel currently has one of its most hawkish Prime Ministers, b ut so far the response has been the typical “measured” air strikes. Gaza needs to be occupied and every single Palestinian sent into the Gaza desert for the Egyptians to deal with. These tepid responses to acts of war are just perpetuating the problem.
How many FReepers called this?
God Bless that innocent Israeli family with 2 children caught in this horror that can be laid at the feet of obama himself
“Operation Gunwalker” gone international
I have been warning for sometime any conflict now will escalate into a few cities being incinerated in the mid east...Tehran and Cairo could be at the top of the list, if the US continues its ridicules policy of cutting Israel off at the knees. His excellency currently located in Highanus Port better get a grip on this and get his head out of his backside before this goes any farther or he will be responsible for what could quickly escalate into a world wide conflict which no one will “win”. Not only has der leader successfully killed the US economy, financial system and the morale of the military, he is on a path to destroy the entire planet. I wonder if that will qualify him for another peace prize as a unpopulated planet would definitely be peaceful.
I can see hussein passing out the candy now.
I haven’t seen any evidence of deliberate foreign policy “strategy” from Hillary. All it seems to be is reacting to events and then trying to spin it after the fact. Why should anyone be surprised? Even some FReepers have suggested she’d be a better President than Obama. Maybe, but only because she’d look to Hubby Bill for advice—he would probably call the shots from behind the scenes. By herself, Hillary is an empty pants suit.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

“The Egyptians helped us in the fight against al Qaeda,” he said. “This revolution is a direct repudiation of al Qaeda, who believe that the only way you bring about change is through violence.” - John McCain on the Egyptian uprising. Anyone remember McCain and Lieberman's lovefest stroll thru Tahrir Square wrapped in the Egyptian flag back in February?
This is the walk in invasion from Egypt Muslims planned during Bammy’s “arab spring”? I think it is.
Our corn industry is directly tied to the petroleum industry, so America is going to see something that it has not seen since the days of Plymouth Rock.
Famine in the land.
I want you to remember why when it happens, this is a turning point. Obama has stiffed Israel, Hillery has delivered the shaft, but in the end, we will suffer the consequence for their foolish diplomatic blunders.
